LEGOLAND California is planning a major miniland addition; Miniland Las
Vegas, scheduled to open March 29th. To make room for Vegas, most of the
New England Harbor part of miniland was removed.
Starting March 1st (through March 23, I believe), models from Miniland New
England will be auctioned on eBay to raise money for a children’s charity.
New auction items will be added during the three weeks.
This is a great idea, and a good chance for collectors to get some very
unique models, including some pictured in The Ultimate LEGO Book.

Its interesting to see that there has been a shift in the ideals of the company,
where “Only The Best is good enough”, and a tough policy on destruction of old
models that DO NOT represent the Lego brand and values, to the extent of
prohibiting employees to have old models at their own desks, to an auction of
old, discolored and water damaged models that have expired their life are
released to the public.
I guess times change.
